Ah, that wasn't clear from your statement cited above. In 
<http://bugs.gnu.org/26102#30> I proposed one patch to remove the 
unencrypted POP3 source code from movemail, and another patch to add 
--with-movemail. Your statement vetoed the first and changed the second 
so that --with-movemail was the default. But neither patch made 
--without-pop the default; that was a third proposal I made later, a 
proposal that you did not respond to but merely reverted when it was 
eventually installed.

I'm writing all this because I don't want people to be left with the 
misimpression that I deliberately installed a patch that you had 
specifically asked not to be installed. That is not what happened.
